Served with makki Ki roti or flatbread made from corn flour which has a slightly rough texture but is soft and naturally savory. This dish is very special because it symbolizes the warmth of traditional culinary, a combination of the savory, slightly spicy taste of vegetables with the texture of filling cornbread, without animal ingredients.
